INGREDIENTS:

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking soda

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In a blender, combine the whisked eggs, vanilla extract, baking soda, almond flour, sugar, and yogurt.
2. Pulse the ingredients until well combined and a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.

7. Once the cake is done, carefully remove the cake pan from the air fryer.
8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once fully cooled, slice the Almond Flour Cake into portions.
10. Serve the cake slices as a delightful dessert, snack, or even as part of a special occasion spread.

TIPS:

• Almond Flour Quality: Use blanched almond flour for the best texture and flavor in the cake. It’s finely ground and produces a smoother crumb.
• Yogurt Variety: Opt for plain yogurt, Greek yogurt, or a dairy-free alternative like coconut yogurt, depending on your dietary preferences.
• Sweetness Level: Adjust the amount of sugar according to your desired level of sweetness. You can also experiment with using alternative sweeteners like honey or maple syrup.
• Flavor Variations: Enhance the cake’s flavor by adding a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or citrus zest to the batter.
• Cake Pan Size: Choose a cake pan that fits comfortably in your air fryer basket. You might need to adjust the cooking time slightly if using a different size pan.
• Cooling: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps prevent the cake from breaking.
• Slicing: For clean slices, use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between cuts to maintain neat edges.
